Re: 91 Civic Si Track Build - B18C-R|EF9 SIR Converted
Almost ready for ITR EXPO! Replaced starter, main relay and @lhtperformance.usa dropped the tank to replace the old fuel pump with a brand new Walbro unit. Heading back to the dyno Tuesday, hoping to make some power now with the fuel issues sorted out and the new k20 injectors installed!
Re: 91 Civic Si Track Build - B18C-R|EF9 SIR Converted
Ok, so got the car back to the dyno..same issue even with all the new parts. After hours of changing injectors, testing voltages, etc..it turned out that my actual ECU was bad! Luckily my tuner had a s300 laying around, we threw it in and everything was working perfectly. So we proceeded to tune on that and Ill be purchasing a brand new S300 when I get back from ITR EXPO.
We ended up make 188whp/131tq, but we picked up a HUGE amount in the midrange. Overall the car is way more responsive and best of all, our A:F is dead on!
Cant thank my tuner, Jap Data, enough for helping me diagnose and get this car running right. Also major thanks to LHT Performance for building my exhaust and replacing the fuel pump on such short notice(have to drop tank on EF)!

We didnt know what it had before we took it out, it turned out to be an old Walbro pump. However the install was bad and it had some issue, but it did not end up being our real problem.

We shouldnt have any problems with the aluminum, LHT is top notch when it comes to welding and custom fabrication.

Checking the Go Pros
Adding horsepower with Xian!
First session was a little...wet! Made for some killer photos though!
After the first session, I could tell something wasnt right. Pin pointed it to the axles, they literally fell out of the car just like this. Was able to source some new ones from the local auto store and got back on track at the end of the day!
Axles all finished up, ready to run!
@fotosbyjosh riding shotgun!
Almost lost some letters, time to roll the rear fenders!
A little drifting in turn 1!
Spun it in turn 3, ate a little grass. :D
All loaded up to head back to FL. Looking forward to ITR EXPO 2016!
Home sweet home! Found out we had a fuel leak while we were loading up to head home.
Tank was punctured on the apex curbing of turn 3 at Gingerman. Time for a new tank.
Old tank out and stripped. Was way easier than I expected to get this out of the car!
And heres for the final teaser...making some MAJOR changes to the car before it comes back out. Hoping to get it back together early 2016..more updates to follow!

What are the plans for winter and will you be swapping to a fuel cell?
Thanks! I will unveil the plans shortly! I dont think Ill be going to a cell, I want to keep the car relatively streetable still. Not ready to go full race car mode with this car yet..

I was in the "advanced" run group, which allows passengers. Just building the car to be fun and fast! It takes a while to make big changes, bc I dont do anything unless its the highest quality or best decision for the end goal.

After selling/trading my B18C-R, I will only have about $2k into it for bare minimum, get the car running. Of course, you can spend WAYYY more than that with all the additional goodies to go along with it. K20R is way too much money though.
